J/psi production in Indium-Indium collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon

The NA60 experiment studies muon pair production at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. In this Letter we report on a precision measurement of J/psi in In-In collisions. We have studied the J/psi centrality distribution, and we have compared it with the one expected if absorption in cold nuclear matter were the only active suppression mechanism. For collisions involving more than approximately 80 participant nucleons, we find that an extra suppression is present. This result is in qualitative agreement with previous Pb-Pb measurements by the NA50 experiment, but no theoretical explanation is presently able to coherently describe both results.     

Experimental–Theoretical Technique for Determining the Equation-of-State Parameters for Soils

This paper considers an experimental–theoretical technique for determining pressure–strain curves and curves of yield strength versus pressure for soils based on disagreement between data of physical and numerical modeling of wave processes in a system of split Hopkinson bars with a soil sample in a holder. A convergent iterative procedure was developed to refine the equation-of-state parameters of soils obtained by the Kolsky method. The error of the technique is analyzed, the role of friction and the coefficient of sliding friction between the soil and the deformed holder.     

Improved lower bounds for the online bin stretching problem

We use game theory techniques to automatically compute improved lower bounds on the competitive ratio for the bin stretching problem. Using these techniques, we improve the best lower bound for this problem to 19/14. We explain the technique and show that it can be generalized to compute lower bounds for any online or semi-online packing or scheduling problem.     

Measurement of the Dynamic Characteristics of Soft Soils Using the Kolsky Method

A modified Kolsky method for dynamic tests of soft soils in an elastic holder is analyzed. It is shown the axial and radial stresses in the sample are uniform. The rational geometry of the holder is determined. Friction is found to have an effect on the dynamic strain diagram obtained. It is suggested that this effect can be reduced by lubricating the inner surface of the holder.
